7 Days Bordeaux And Dordogne Biking Adventure Tour Package
We love the Dordogne Valley – the story of the Hundred Years’ War embodied in the region’s many castles; the surprising complexity of its Cro-Magnon cave art; the incredible biking through its rolling walnut woods; and, of course, the decadent and fine food. That’s why we’ve been coming here for years. Of course, as with all our trips, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve. But really, how could we make it better? The answer turned out to be pretty simple – go west… to Bordeaux. The biking here is beautiful yet flat, making it the perfect place to warm up for the more challenging hills of the Dordogne. The food is world class, and the quality of wine goes without saying. On this trip we’ll move steadily back in time as we bike from Left Bank to Right and on into the Dordogne Valley. Yet wherever we go, whatever era we explore, the gifts of this place continue to delight. Trip Highlights • Learn how to taste wines like an pro, then put your newfound skill to the test at Château Mouton Rothschild • Cycle among the famous vineyards of Margaux, St-Julien, St-Estèphe, St-Emilion and Pomerol • Dine on the Michelin-starred creations of Thierry Marx, voted Chef of the Year by his peers around the world • Explore Font-de-Gaume, the only Cro-Magnon painted cave still open to public • Bike up to the perched fortress of Château de Beynac for a tour with our historian friend Alain • Stroll, shop or just sit on a terrace in Sarlat, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in France Tour Accommodations Château Cordeillan-Bages, Pauillac Relais & Châteaux This 17thC chartreuse was turned into a Relais & Châteaux hotel by the Cazes family of neighbouring Château Lynch-Bages. Contemporary décor sets the stage for the real event: a restaurant that’s worth a trip across the Atlantic. Chef Thierry Marx is a media sensation—awarded two stars by the Michelin guide and voted Chef of the Year by his peers around the world. Château Grand Barrail, St-Emilion  Our hotel is a true 19thC château in a sea of vines sloping down to the river, just minutes from the town of St-Emilion. The château features a pool and terrace overlooking the vineyard.
